Neither of those.  I don't think looking for Nova variations will get you to the answer, as the builders don't actually admit it's based on one of the many hundreds of versions of it in their blurb!

It's put forward with a name and specific mechanical details which don't really match the majority of Nova etc cars..

I've seen that photo several times but it was always described as (possibly) an Eagle SS. I'm looking forward to someone else finding the answer !

Perhaps it started out life as one but I have a different name for it!

Hi Carnut, do you want to get the name that its builder gave to this car or do you want to get the make/model name of this car?

On the site I got it from the people who built it say it has a custom-built chassis and interior then go on to say what powers it.  They offer to build copies of it..
Whilst it would appear to be a design that has been used many times over I want to know what they call it!

One of your previous answers could be interpreted as this car does not contain any GM bit (hence engine included), can you confirm this ?

No, I was answering the Nereia question, not whether this car had any VW or GM bits.
It does in fact have a GM engine..
